Quick Base: The Missing Manual (Paperback)

Description

Ready to put Intuit's QuickBase to work? Our new Missing Manual shows you how to capture, modify, share, and manage data and documents with this web-based data-sharing program quickly and easily. No longer do you have to coordinate your team through a blizzard of emails or play frustrating games of "guess which document is the right one."

QuickBase saves your organization time and money, letting you manage and share the information that makes your business tick: sales figures, project timelines, drafts of documents, purchase or work requests--whatever information you need to keep business flowing smoothly.

QuickBase: The Missing Manual shows you how to choose among QuickBase's dozens of ready-made applications (mini-databases, essentially) and how to customize one to fit your needs exactly. You'll also learn to assign people different roles within the application. The guide also shows you how to:

• Capture and modify data: Whatever kind of data you need to store--sales leads, catalog listings, project milestones, workflow checklists--you can use QuickBase's forms to record and organize that data so it makes sense to you.
• Filter, sort, and group data: Easily find the records that match your criteria, and then sort those records into groups that make their relationships clear.
• Display your data: QuickBase uses different views (Table, Grid Edit, Summary/Crosstab, Calendar, Chart, and Timeline) to display and summarize data. Switching between them is easy, like taking tasks listed in a table and displaying them as a timeline.
• Create reports: Print out a hard copy, embed charts in the annual report, or email this month's sales numbers.

Because Intuit frequently introduces new features to QuickBase, you'll find updates to this book at our Missing Manual web site so you can benefit from the latest technology and user suggestions right away.

描述

準備好開始使用Intuit的QuickBase了嗎？我們的新版《缺失的手冊》將向您展示如何快速輕鬆地捕捉、修改、共享和管理這個基於網絡的數據共享程序中的數據和文件。您不再需要通過一大堆電子郵件來協調團隊，也不需要玩令人沮喪的“猜猜哪個文件是正確的”遊戲。

QuickBase可以節省您組織的時間和金錢，讓您管理和共享使您的業務運轉的信息：銷售數據、項目時間表、文件草稿、購買或工作請求 - 無論您需要保持業務順暢運行的信息是什麼。

《QuickBase：缺失的手冊》將向您展示如何在QuickBase的數十個現成應用程序（基本上是小型數據庫）中進行選擇，以及如何根據您的需求自定義一個應用程序。您還將學習如何在應用程序中為不同的人分配不同的角色。本指南還將向您展示如何：

- 捕捉和修改數據：無論您需要存儲什麼類型的數據 - 銷售線索、目錄列表、項目里程碑、工作流檢查表 - 您都可以使用QuickBase的表單來記錄和組織這些數據，使其對您有意義。
- 過濾、排序和分組數據：輕鬆找到符合您條件的記錄，然後將這些記錄分組，使它們的關係清晰明了。
- 顯示您的數據：QuickBase使用不同的視圖（表格、網格編輯、摘要/交叉表、日曆、圖表和時間軸）來顯示和總結數據。在它們之間切換很容易，就像將以表格列出的任務顯示為時間軸一樣。
- 創建報告：打印出紙質副本，在年度報告中嵌入圖表，或者通過電子郵件發送本月的銷售數字。

由於Intuit經常為QuickBase引入新功能，您可以在我們的《缺失的手冊》網站上找到本書的更新，以便您可以立即從最新的技術和用戶建議中受益。
